Abstract
Undergraduate research is one way to qualify teachers for professional learning and innovation, but there is little knowledge about how ITE programs address research for students. This study has investigated that question in one country, Norway. Data is survey data from all HEIs providing teacher education, and an interview study involving 36 teacher educators and 36 students. Results indicate that ITE programs emphasize research, but teacher-led more than student engagement. Although more teacher educators are qualified researchers, it varies greatly whether they are active researchers and what research goals the ITE leaders express. Variation is a key finding.
